    Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RUclips channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
    I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
    I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
    I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
    On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

      ​@@benjamintracy6149really? You think he's changing his angle of attack to make one ball look better than another? The problem with that, the ball speeds were the same. If the dynamic launch was changing, the ball speeds would not be the same with the same swing speed.

    • @theythinkimmadyouknow
      @theythinkimmadyouknow 9 месяцев назад

      @@Cash_Welch Hang on, you cant say its not the balls fault if you are praising it for performing in other areas. The only area it had any real gain in (factoring in the standard deviations shown) was with the driver in that it gained 8 yards but Rick mentioned the deviation pattern was wider. In everything else it was pretty much the same. I cant see that as a significant margin of improvement and $2.50 a yard more with less accuracy doesn't seem like value for money. Save the extra $20 from a few boxes and have a lesson which will probably give you the same gain in distance without losing accuracy. That said, if you believe it will make you better and want to spend the money that's entirely your choice, however there are so many cheaper options that perform as well as PV1's that the LA Ball seems out of step with the direction of travel in the market place.

      Plus my golf spy separates ball tests by swing speed with driver and irons making it easier to review the results and see which ball would work best for you. Plus the use of a robot takes the human element out of the test with more consistent results.

      You can't test golf balls indoors because Foresight uses an algorithm for flight path and applies that to the spin and trajectory numbers. To the extent the dimple pattern or design effects the flight it won't be shown. The only way to test is Trackman or Flightscope outdoors tracking actual flight.

    I never thought the day would come when Rick found a ball better in performance than the ProV1. And he's living up to his job doing the review and giving us the honest data. Now, are they $70 a dozen better? For the average golfer like me, no. I have a hard enough time coughing up $45 - $50 for ProV's. Thank you Rick!

    • @johnbruce4003
      @johnbruce4003 7 месяцев назад

      They’re $65 right now. Or buy two and they work out to $58.50/dozen. For 10 extra yards? Oh yeah! I think the average 12 handicap or better would drop $500-700 on a new driver tomorrow if they consistently hit it 10 yards further. In an expensive game like golf, $0.70 more per ball is nothing. With that said, will I do it? Maybe!
